    Tuesday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 2
    Captain Nemo Retro Barbershop SS
    Proraso Blue ASB
    Brut Deodorant Spray
    Brut AS Splash

    I have some more great stuff on the way from Kolkata, India so I decided to go with the Retro Barbershop soap from Captain Nemo - my goodness my dear friend Abir sure knows how to make awesome soaps. This one is vegan based like all his soaps, the scent is so beautiful - it’s like an old school barbershop from the 60s, it lathers terrifically with lots of slickness, and it’s so skin friendly. The Proraso Blue balm is so soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Brut aftershave’s scent is so delightful (to me!) and once the stinging stops it feels so cool and refreshing. Three passes gave me a wonderful BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Wishing y’all a great day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #439 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling Open Comb razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor : Yaqi TFC adjustable, 2 pc - Mfg 2021>, well thought out adjustable and it has a similar design as the 1930's French Gibbs adjustable but the Yaqi TFC takes regular Gillette blades where the Gibbs took proprietary blades. This little razor works very well and I received a excellent stellar shave this morning with no issues.
    Blade : Personna red(2) sharp and smooth with great longevity. Top tier blade.
    Soap : Ogallala Bayrum with sage and cedarwood, nice scent of Bayrum with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3band silvertip badger, heavenly pillow like soft tips, great splay scrubber + great lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG (3) + ATG(3) + pickups (4 setting)= excellence.
    Post shave : Witch hazel beard wash + Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood:001_wub: + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2) 1 10.545.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Excellent stellar shave with my Yaqi TFC adjustable with a Personna red blade.

    Hi Friends,

    Here my today´s shave (31.05.2023)

    99170C58-F4B9-4186-A287-789930A6CF38.jpeg
    Pre: Floid Sandolor // Razor: Mühle Rocca R96 Jet // Blade: Gillette green (2) // Soap: Irisch Moos // Brush: Jayaruh #421 // Aftershave: Agua Brava

    Second shave with the Rocca and another hit. Homerun. Fantastic shaving razor. Smooth, gentle and very thoroughly. The blade in it´s second use did a fine job again. I am VERY impressed with this razor.

    The soap smelled wonderful, that terrific brush had no problems getting a cushiony, luxurious lather. 2,5 passes later i have been completely BBS.

    It was fantastic shave again. Nothing more to say.

    Again an easy 10 out of 10

    Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 3
    Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
    Prep ASB
    Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    I bought two more of these Absolute Zero soaps and aftershave toners recently and they should be shipped out in a couple of days. The right way to describe this stuff is unbelievably frigid with a beautiful aquatic scent - the soap is vegan based like all of Abir’s soaps, it’s so easy to lather, there’s enough menthol in it to freeze a polar bear’s butt off, and the skincare is terrific. The Prep gave me a wonderful moisturized, soothed feeling, and the Absolute Zero aftershave added a monstrous menthol kick. Finally the gorgeous fragrance of the Bleu de Chanel and I was good to go. Three passes with my cherished 1950s Super Speed loaded with a three old Astra Green blade gave me a cracking good BBS shave which I enjoyed from start to finish!

    Wishing y’all a beautiful day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #439 Synthetic
    PAA Starling Safety Bar
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Florida Water

    I don't remember this as the case, but another shaver across the street suggested that the solid bar plate was more aggressive. After yesterday's shave, I was all in to give it another go. I found the open comb to be rather mild.

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #439 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling razor with safety bar and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. The safety bar maybe was a little bit more aggressive and I got a closer shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
